ST POTAN DOG SHOW

Sunday at the lake there was a dog show organised by "Le Societe de Chasse" (The hunt)
We certainly don't agree with hunting, but it seemed a good idea to check it out to learn more about our hosts.
Hunts from all over the area turned up with their packs to show them off and to be judged.
There was also an open section for dogs which we didn't realise or we would have entered Bella who is a pedigree.
Arthur could not have entered and he was the result of an affair between a huskey and an alsation, so he would have been disqualified for being a half caste!

Hunting dogs.


Er..More hunting dogs but white.

Griffon hunting dogs. Very hairy!

Each hunt had their colours on as they paraded their best dog.


The French are such cruel buggers! They dug a big pit and burried a wild boar up to his neck and then charged a euro to chuck an empty bottle of pastis at it.
Not really...Just an exibition of taxidermy.


The parade of the hunts. Loads of dogs.


The finalists of all dog classifications. The woman on the far left is the area president and her husband was one of the judges. A round of applause was also given to each dog to help the judges. The woman had little applause but still came 2nd.



Best in show went to a rather large hunt dog.



And finally worst in show, pictured from behind.
I am dead when she reads this!
This could be the last post ever on the blog.
Sorry folks!!!!!
